"To love and be loved; to find beauty in everyone, joy in adversity, and in each moment an opportunity for kindness. To listen and to care; to abhor violence and injustice; to never let it go unchallenged, to understand my humble place as well as my great worth in the universe; to recognize the wrongs I have done; to forgive those of others, and to pursue peace and understanding with my kindred upon this earth."david kreider

"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter to the other; now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other; now there is no loneliness for you, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place, to enter into the days of your togetherness, and may your days be good and long upon this earth." author unknown

"Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. So faith, hope, love abide,these three, but the greatest of these is love." 1 corinthians 13

"It was your strength that attracted me to you and yet it is your gentleness that holds me close. It was your wise words I listened to and yet it is your questioning that bonds me to you. It was your belief in yourself that I admired, yet it is your self doubt that endears you so. The world of opposites that spin inside you pull me in ever deeper. And it is in that pull that love is born." Terri St Cloud

"What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the last parting."

"You have given me so much of yourself and your care. You believed in me and loved me for who I am, and did not judge me or use me or try to change me to suit yourself. You listened and helped me hear myself. When I just needed you there, when words were useless you understood and gave me courage to face the challenges that have made me stronger and taught me grace. You held my hopes, my fears and regrets and I felt safe and loved and strengthened for confiding in you. You gave me laughter and filled my world with your spirit and made me feel appreciated and enjoyed. You have given me happiness, and the precious gift of your friendship; your love, your beauty, and my better self. you" david kreider 2002

When you were an infant, I loved you, and out of the darkness I called you my child. It was I who taught you to walk and I took you up in my arms. But you did not know that I comforted you. I led you with cords of kindness, with bands of love. I was to you a mother who lifts her infant to her cheek. I bent down to you and fed you. How shall I ever give you up? My heart recoils. My passion is kindled warm and tender. I could not lift my hand to hurt you. For it is I who gave you life, and my spirit is ever with you. Return to me child, that I may keep you and hold what is good. I will renew your spirit as the garden dew and love you freely and you will flourish. Your beauty will blossom, and your fragrance go forth as wine." Hosea prphr 11:1-9,14:1-7

"It is not gratitude, my child I ask, nor do I seek to make my will your own; the memory of your babyhood though you are grown enchants me still; nor ever was a task performed for you save lovingly. I do indeed thank you that you have brought me days of bright felicity in all your ways and hours of grieving so few. No, do not thank me now but think upon your childhood tenderly when I have gone and if in sudden sweet remembering you too find deepening joy in each small thing done for your child or in your ministry to one beloved you will be thanking me.
